I can agree with most of that Bob. I can even see your logic for sure. I certainly agree that signature licks are vital to many songs. I try to have a nice mix where the signature licks are there, and some that are my take on the song. Some songs are just so dated, that a good new version can do wonders.

We have a full tool box, and also the ability to chose what tool we want for the job. A hammer might make a very bad saw, but as far as saws go a circular, saber, or jig saw can all cut wood.

I do appreciate your thoughts especially since you come from a background of 27 years of experience.
